Thank you for trying this. The WebPVR continues to fail - much as listed in John's log below. However there is now an entry in the history file which means that I can't try a forced download with the WebPVR.
So I tried a command line download using: C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --force --pid b0368my6 --type radio --mode default and got a WMA file - but this too failed in the download. === C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --force --pid b0368my6 --type radio --mode default get_iplayer v2.83, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.

It's fine via the CLI. It produces the expected size of 109,442KB and length of 1 hour 56 seconds. However, after moving that file and trying again with the PVR using the 'force' setting, I now get this: Recording The Following Programmes Folk Club - 29/06/2013 (b0368my6) INFO Trying to stream pid using type radio INFO: pid found in cache Matches: 11090: Folk Club - 29/06/2013, BBC Radio Ulster, Folk,Music,Northern Ireland,Radio INFO: 1 Matching Programmes INFO: Checking existence of default version INFO: flashaudio1,wma1 modes will be tried for version default INFO: Trying flashaudio1 mode to record radio: Folk Club - 29/06/2013 INFO: File name prefix = Folk Club - 29_06_2013 RTMPDump v2.4 (c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL Connecting ...
